  Don't waste time waiting for your ID cards to print with slow printing printers. With the PRO 550, a single-sided full color YMCKO card prints in 23 seconds. That's 11 seconds faster than the older PRO model printers! If your badges don't require full color, the AlphaCard PRO 550 has the ability to print monochrome cards in only six seconds - an exceptional upgrade from the PRO 500 printer.
